Puppies For Dummies Review
This is a really great and comprehensive book that can basically be used as an instruction manual for your newest member of the family. And by that I mean puppy, not to be confused if you've just had a child or married into legal relationships of a new "family." So far, every tip in this book has worked---almost as if puppy care was empirical science; Sarah Hodgson can be seen as the Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, or Thomas Edison---an essential and revolutionary figure in her field of study. Pick this book up today, it just might change the way you see the world.

puppy power - M. E. Gfeller - Kansas, USA
Bought this used for my son when he adopted a puppy. It came very quickly, which was wonderful! I think he has read it cover-to-cover and he knows more about raising puppies than many people who have raised them all their lives. I'm very impressed with the outcome of the gift.
Really helpful! - Ana Silva - Brazil
I've been raising my Cane Corso puppy according to the book and it's been great!
Needs better organization - L. Gaffney - New York, NY
Like a lot of other reviewers said, this book was recommended to me by a few people. After reading it, I'm not really sure why. Maybe because these "Dogs for Dummies" books are plastered all over pet stores, so a lot of people buy them. I found the book to be extremely hard to follow, with no sensible flow. Granted, there are good points in the book, and a lot of the suggestions worked, and so I'm giving this book 3 stars instead of 1 or 2. I really wish this book were organized in terms of age of the puppy. It would've been helpful to have a large chapter dedicated solely to the first two weeks. Instead, there are bits and pieces of information regarding the first few very important weeks scattered through each chapter, under different headings. There are so many references to other chapters and pages, that I now have (ironically) dog-eared pages all over the place.
That being said, I'm now going to try out "The Art of Raising a Puppy", which some friends who have raised numerous dogs (including K-9 unit service dogs) highly recommended as "the best puppy book on the market".
